Instructions
Make the biscuit topping
- If you want to long ferment the biscuit topping, start this recipe the night before you plan to eat pot pie.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sourdough starter, cream, and milk until just combined. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes while you prepare everything else.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix with a fork until evenly combined.
- Grate butter using the large holes of a cheese grater.
- Add the cold grated butter to the flour mixture.
- Add the milk, cream, and starter mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- In the bowl, knead the dough 2-3 times until it comes together. Don’t knead it too much, but make sure there are no really dry areas and the dough is all stuck together in one piece.
- Lightly flour your counter, and using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a thick rectangle.
- Cut out 8-10 thick rounds using a 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter or the mouth of a mason jar.
- Immediately move on to making pot pie, or ferment the cut biscuits in the fridge overnight and continue the recipe the next day.
